This article whines it best.   I have to run Trillian gmail and Skype to chat to C and all my friends who even have chat. In reality it means I don't chat to anyone most of the time because once I get my browser started and email that's about all the time I have.   So I'm on MSN AIM Skype and Yahoo and nothing.  But do feel free to add me and not chat to me. :)
